Apple shows the way for electronics exports

Hindustan Times  

At $10 billion in FY24, exports of India-assembled iPhones have doubled from the previous fiscal. While the iPhone instance is evidence of policies such as the PLI for smartphones working, India must do more to convince the world that it has the makings of a preferred China+1 destination for electronics exports. At present, the world may seem more inclined towards Vietnam or Malaysia, which offer stable, low-tariff regimes; this allows marquee manufacturers to import components and assemble them for export. But New Delhi’s January decision to lower tariffs for high-end smartphone parts and the new electric vehicle policy that allows for tariff reduction for specific imports in exchange for local production above a certain investment floor show that policymakers are not averse to providing such impetus. A balanced approach towards tariffs may well allow India to become an electronics export powerhouse without having to sacrifice its local manufacturing ambitions.
